Abstract

The name Unani, derived from a Greek word Ionian, means the knowledge of the states of the human body in health and disease. It means having information on different body conditions in health and illness. It draws from the education of Roman physician Jalinoos and Greek physician Buqrat, focusing on the four temperaments and four humours.Unani System of Medicine has a comprehensive approach for the treatment of diseases and also safeguarding of health. It recognizes that every community has its own perspective on health and illness, as these concepts are fundamental across cultures.The concept of health as a balance between a person and the environment, the unity of soul and body, and the natural origin of disease, was the backbone of the perception of health in ancient Greece. The primary goals of Unani medicine are the maintenance of good health and healing of disease.The main concern of the Unani system of medicine is health and its maintenance by tabiat. Tabiat maintains tadeel-e-mizaj (normal constitution) which is the basis of health. Seven basic components of umur-e-tabiyah areform the base of a healthy human being determining its state of health and disease.The present paper is a literature review of different Unani physicians regarding the concept of health and disease and investigate the historical context and origins of this concept within the Unani system, as well as its significance in understanding human health and disease within this traditional medical framework. In the Unani system, human health takes centre stage, with physicians elucidating all factors responsible for sustaining well-being and good health.
